This is a condition I’ve worked with a great deal, both in my clinical practice and personally. After 12 years of casework and even more years of direct experience, I’ve realized the power an herbal approach to endometriosis can have - and I’m so excited to share it with you!
Go in depth with the pathophysiology of endometriosis and how what we know (and don’t know) about this disease informs how we care for ourselves. This class focuses on herbal therapeutics, diet, lifestyle, and bodywork modalities for both acute and long-term care.

Class Descriptions
Class 1 - Understanding Endometriosis
This comprehensive class dives deep into endometriosis, exploring relavant anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology. We will examine how endometriosis develops, its underlying mechanisms, and its far-reaching impact on the body. Students will gain an understanding of common symptoms and associated conditions, such as chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and gastrointestinal issues.
The course also covers conventional diagnostic methods, including physical exams, imaging studies, and blood tests. We’ll discuss the current conventional treatment options ranging from hormonal medications to surgical interventions, highlighting their benefits, limitations, and potential outcomes. We’ll also dive into menstrual pathology from a Vitalist perspective, looking at the role of nutrition, lifestyle, and mental/emotional health on menstruation and reproduction, and how that can relate to endometriosis. This class is designed for anyone seeking a thorough understanding of endometriosis—whether for personal knowledge or to better support those affected.
